 ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA
Sep 11, 2006 Clear amber, moderate head, blah lacing. Aroma is not English hops. I thought it was an uncommon American variety, but I guess they’re German. Very fruity aroma with caramel. Flavor is the same but it’s less enjoyable. Watery body and texture. Not a fan.

Sep 7, 2006 Bottle at Kook’s Leaving Do at Chris o’s. Deep clear copper/amber with lasting thin off white head. Odd hoppy aroma, bit of herb, fruity flavours in mouth, red berries (but only I got this). Stickyish hop. Bit of toffee on aroma. Clean flavour. Hop citrus finish. Unlike a UK ESB

Sep 7, 2006 Bottle. Sweet caramelly malt characters, with a touch of slightly piney, slightly aromatic hops. Not a whole lot else to report. Has a fairly straight forward flavour, easy to drink, but maybe a little dull.

WhiteSoxFan (152), USA
Aug 31, 2006 12 oz. bottle from Shoreline. Drank on 8/1/06. Slightly cloudy. Sort of darker copper. 1 cm. bubbly looking light tan head. Drops quickly to a thin layer of foam. No lacing. Aroma - not too strong, but there. Mostly grapefruity / orangy citrus. A little bit of lingering sweetness. Flavor - high level of up front bitterness. Sort of watered down tasting with a little bit of a sour / grapefruit like flavor. Flavor is more pronounced in and after the swallow - grapefruit, sour, tart, and dry. Palate - light, higher level of carb., and a little watery. Overall - not a great beer. Doesn’t taste at all like an ESB, more like a messed up APA. Way too much grapefruit / citrus flavor, a little tart. Thin body, high carb. Way too much hops. Props for being organic, I guess.
